In my opinion, nothing, except for the compact size and light weight. Still they are a lot of fun and easy to carry around. No match for the M IQ, however. But amazing what you can get out of those 5 MP.

OK. I guess if you're not interested in printing larger than 8x12". Nice examples in this thread.

You could print larger than that from the DP2X no problem, and still get excellent results.

Numbers please, Gentlemen!

How much "larger"?

At what ppi?

On my calculator, 2640px wide / 12" or 1760px / 8" = 220 ppi . . .

I've seen a 6mp image from a bayer camera printed to AO size which looked great at the viewing distance you'd want to look at it. The Olympus E-1, a 4.9mp bayer camera with a heavy AA filter was used professionally by many Portrait shooters who printed larger than 8x12. I've seen a poster printed from an Olympus E-510 shot (10mp) which looked excellent. If you're trying to tell me that a DP2X, with the superb lens it has, can't print larger than 8x12 you'll have to excuse me while I stifle my guffaws.
